The water distilled essential oils from the aerial parts of Rhanterium adpressum Coss. & Durieu. was analyzed by GC/MS. The oil was characterized by the presence of high amounts of Spathulenol (19.6%), β-Eudesmol (15.2%), Bicyclo[4.4.0]dec-1-ene, 2-isopropyl-5-methyl-9-methylene (12.9%), β-Cadinol (11.3%), α-Cadinol (6.56%), α-Eudesmol (5.37%), Myristicin (5.05%), 2H-Pyran-3-ol, and tetrahydro-2-(1,7-nonadiene-3,5-diynyl) (4.81%). Nevertheless, some other compounds were only present in minor amounts such as n-Tridec-1-ene (0.54), n-Hexadecan-1-ol (0.52), 1-Bu 2-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (0.59). In total, volatile oil composition of Rhanterium adpressum was characterized as a rich source of sesquiterpeniod compounds In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-((1-((1-Methoxypropan-2-yl)oxy)propan-2-yl)oxy)propan-2-ol (cas: 20324-33-8Electric Literature of C10H22O4).
1-((1-((1-Methoxypropan-2-yl)oxy)propan-2-yl)oxy)propan-2-ol (cas: 20324-33-8) belongs to ethers. Of all the functional groups, ethers are the least reactive ones. Ether bonds are quite stable towards bases, oxidizing agents and reducing agents. But on the other hand, ethers undergo cleavage by reaction with acids. Ethers can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules (alcohols, amines, etc.) that have O―H or N―H bonds. The ability to form hydrogen bonds with other compounds makes ethers particularly good solvents for a wide variety of organic compounds and a surprisingly large number of inorganic compounds.Electric Literature of C10H22O4
